There are so many good reasons not to eat meat, but for me, the well-being of my children is the most important. ... I want them to be healthy and also to understand that when they say ‘No!' to meat, they're saying ‘No!' to animal cruelty. We talk about our pets, and I say, ‘You wouldn't eat Biscuit, would you? Well, then let's not eat any animal, O. K.? ... I don't think I really realized what I was putting into my body and the actual effects that it was having on me, so now I feel so much healthier, and I have so much more energy, and foods taste better!
